For
a year and a half following the ouster of Haiti’s elected government on Feb.
29, 2004, UN, OAS, and U.S. officials, in conjunction with post-coup Haitian
authorities, vetted the country’s police force – officer by officer –
integrating paramilitaries with the goal of both strengthening the force and
providing an alternative “career path”
for paramilitaries.

See here a letter that myself and others have published in The Guardian calling for more attention on the hundreds of Venezuelan peasants that have been murdered by right wing paramilitaries and gunmen hired by wealthy land owners. Read the entire letter here. The full letter with additional signatures is published on Venezuelanalysis.
